Trump Going After Black Votes - J. Marsolo

by J. Marsolo

Instead of pandering to blacks by promising more
government benefits, which has been the policy of Democrats and most
Republicans since LBJ, Trump challenged blacks to analyze that the
Democrat policies have done little to help the majority of blacks

Yesterday, in Milwaukee, Donald
Trump announced a bold plan to win black votes and help blacks help
themselves. Instead of pandering to blacks by promising more
government benefits, which has been the policy of Democrats and most
Republicans since LBJ, Trump challenged blacks to analyze that the
Democrat policies have done little to help the majority of blacks,
especially blacks in the cities that have been governed by Democrat
mayors for years, such as Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia,
etc. And Democrat policies at the national level, such as “free” trade
and excessive taxes and regulations on business and not enforcing
immigration laws, have hurt the economy. This has resulted in fewer
jobs for black as well as whites, especially entry level jobs.

In
addition to being the correct economic approach, Trump’s approach is
also smart politics. Trump has to carry the battleground states of
Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, in addition to Florida, Virginia, and
North Carolina. To win Pennsylvania, Trump has to win black votes in
Philadelphia, to win in Ohio, Trump has to win black votes in Cleveland,
and to win in Wisconsin, Trump has to win black votes in Milwaukee.

Blacks
are in the same position as labor unions. Both have supported and voted
Democrats for so long that the Democrats’ politicians take their votes
for granted and only pay lip service to them. Part of Reagan’s winning
coalition were the “Reagan Democrats” consisting of union members
dissatisfied by the economy and weak foreign policy under Jimmy Carter.

Trump
is attempting to get “Trump Democrats” by appealing to blacks who
suffer from high crime rates and unemployment in the cities.
